Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Things I Love

This is a bit belated, but things were pretty hectic the week before and the week after V-day so I didn't get around to doing a Valentine post. But I just thought I would take a moment to share some of the things that I love. There are so many I could never write them all, but here are some I came up with off the top of my head.

1. Jayson, of course! I love him more everyday and feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband!
2. My family, of course! I have the most incredible family, they are my greatest source of strength and friendship.
3. My friends, of course! Each of you has blessed my life in countless ways. You have made the hard times bearable and the good times memorable.
4. Chapstick - I don't know where I would be with out it!
5. House plants - they bring cheer to a room and give me a peaceful feeling
6. Netflix - it totally rocks!
7. Sleeping in - enough said
8. A great pen - enough can't be said about the joys of finding the perfect pen, especially when one spends most of the day taking therapy notes
9. Dark chocolate - I guess it is a sign of my maturing (or aging), but I now prefer dark chocolate to milk. I just can't get enough of it! In fact I am eating some now as I write this :)
10. Asparagus (now pronounced ass-par-a-jus thanks to one of my language clients! :) - I absolutely love it! When at a restaurant and trying to make a dinner choice, the meal that comes with asparagus will win me over 9 times out of 10
11. Deep tissue massages - they hurt like the dickens, but as I like to say "they hurt so good" and you feel great afterwards
12. Books - I am a multi-sensory book lover. I not only love to read them, but I also really enjoy smelling them and feeling the different textures of the pages! What a weirdo!
13. Keane - They are the one band I could probably listen to 24/7 and never get sick of them, they are fantastic!
14. Our huge, and I mean HUGE, frying pan that we got for our wedding. That thing is amazing, I can brown an entire pound of meat in it at one time!

So there you have it, just some of the things that I really love.

I like #9 on your list. It made me laugh because I was just telling Tyler that I have been craving dark chocolate, and I have never liked it in my life. I went to the store and bought some Hersey Special Dark Chocolate, and I am loving it!
